United Rentals appointed Ted Grace executive vice president and CFO. Grace had served as interim CFO of United Rentals since July 29 and as the company’s primary investor contact since 2016.

“Following a thorough search process, it became clear that Ted is the right executive to lead our finance team and financial strategies as CFO,” Matthew Flannery, CEO of United Rentals, said. “He’s a strong, collaborative partner to our functional teams and has demonstrated a deep understanding of our operating environment and financial markets. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Ted in executing on the many opportunities we see ahead.”

Prior to his appointment as CFO, Grace served six years as United Rentals’ vice president and head of investor relations.
